Like the Swede who said that
the problem with America is that there are too many Negroes, German
intellectuals from the early 20th century have believed the problem with Greece
is there are too many Greeks. For over a century the Germans have committed
atrocities against the Greek people for which they have never been held accountable.
Furthermore, after WWII, the British and Americans aided and abetted the German’s
barbaric behavior towards the Greek people. Why?

German World War I Atrocities Against
the Greeks

German
officers, commanding Turkish soldiers, murdered 353,000 Greeks in their
ancestral and historic homeland of Pontus. Pontine Greeks had lived on the
southern coast of the Black Sea, just southwest of the Caucasus Mountains, the
supposed birthplace of Aryanism for 3,000 years. For some reason having to do
with Aryanism and the Caucasus, the Germans decided to exterminate this uniquely
vibrant Greek community.

Afterward
exterminating the Pontine Greeks, in order to complete their deranged eugenic
scheme, Germans forcibly relocated one million Greek Orthodox Christians living
in Turkey to the Greek mainland. These two atrocities ended thousands of years
of Hellenic civilization in Turkey.

near the historic site of Delphi. Survivors said that SS officers “ bayoneted
babies in their cribs, stabbed pregnant women, and beheaded the village priest.

German Atrocities: Genocide or
Archeology?

If Indiana Jones had been in
Greece during the Second World War, he would have known exactly what the
Germans were up to. The noted archeologist would have investigated the looting of
monasteries, the destruction of landmarks and the desecration of the oracle’s
temple at Delphi and come to the inevitable conclusion that the Germans were
engaged in some kind of archeological quest. The Germans turned Greece into
their own archaeological site twisting their peculiar Philhellenism to serve
the Third Reich. But were their excavations directed at something specific or
were the Germans merely looting anything they could find?

Germany has a long tradition
of revering classical Greece culture. German intellectuals especially esteemed
Greek monuments, Greek landmarks and Greek music. But Germans despised the
Greek people. The founder of the German school of archaeological
positivism, Julius Beloch, held that archaeology was the one true, scientific
source of accurate information on the ancients. Beloch and his school of
archaeology carefully studied the objects they looted, but that didn’t mean
they were objective even before the fanaticism of the Third Reich. Beloch, like
other German intellectuals, intended that his scientific discoveries be used only to support the myth of the German
master race.

German Philhellenism

The
German philosopher and romantic, GeorgWilhelm Friedrich Hegel said that Greece defined culture for
the Germany. Hegel believed that Neo-Hellenism not only gave Germans their
sense of culture, it also gave Germans their sense of destiny. All intellectual
pursuits at Gottingen, the German university endowed by the King George III of
England to the study ethnicity and racism, were directed toward constructing a
broad cultural alliance between Germany and Greece. Gottingen’s mission was to
project Germany as the new Hellas in order to give Germans a positive national
identity.

Greek
culture had always held a central place for Germans. Gottingen scholars ‘proved’
that philosophy could only come from temperate climes such as Greece and
Germany. But Gottingen scholars did not consider philosophy either rational or moral,
for that matter. Germans believed philosophy began with the German language and
the German myths. German philosophy was descriptive. The German language became
philosophy when it told the German people how they should feel about the ‘Fatherland.’ German philosophy was developed
at the emotional and cultural levels. Adding words like, mass murderers, blitzkrieg, concentration camp, Gestapo, International
Jewry, ghetto, unrestricted war, master race, eugenics, genome and Totenkopf to the internationally recognized
lexicon is German philosophy.

Philosophy
is a people’s national pride. Gottingen created an epistemology linking Greek
culture to the German language. This epistemology is considered one of
Gottingen’s major philosophical achievements. Throughout its history, Gottingen
provided the intellectual constructs for converting racist propaganda into philosophical
orthodoxy. Even in the twenty-first century, Gottingen remains true to its mission
of building the myth of the Teutonic superman and is now a leading European research
center in the field of biological manipulation of the human genome.

Greek War of Liberation

When
the Greeks attempted to free themselves from the Turkish rule in 1821, the
sultan of the Ottoman Empire called upon Egypt to assist in quelling the
rebellion. In the 1800s Mohammed Ali, an Albanian strongman, seized control of
Egypt and instituted a revival of the Egyptian economy. Under Mohammed Ali’s leadership,
Egypt became second only to England in agricultural production and industrial
capacity. The strongman used Egypt’s industrial capacity to buildup the
Egyptian army, conquering Libya, Sudan, Arabia, and Syria.

The
use of an Africans army to subdue the Greek insurrection prompted a white
reaction all over the world. Overnight Greek letter societies sprung up on
campuses, everywhere. So greatly did the Germans view the threat, that not only
student groups at German universities, but German fraternities that were little
more than drinking societies became Greek letter societies. So alarmed were white
people by the attack of Asian and African powers upon Greece, that the Greek
letter societies spoke with one voice. They demanded immediate action. England,
France and Russia dispatched warships to Pylos, a major Greek
city on the west coast of the Peloponnesian peninsula. The allied fleet
bottled up the Turkish and Egyptian fleet in Navarino Bay and
annihilated it. The naval victory assured Greek independence from
Turkey, but it was not enough. The British harbored grave concerns over the Egyptian
military threat. So England imposed a series of potent economic, political and
military sanctions against Mohammed Ali. The effect was so great that by 1880 England
had completely subdued and colonized Egypt.

German Response To Greek Independence

Though
Germany’s military power was at its nadir in the 1800s, three hundred Germans
fought in the Greek War for Independence and thousands of German students and
intellectuals such as Hegel, Schlegel and Marx supported the struggle. The
Greek letter societies characterized the Greek War of Independence as a
struggle of a young and vigorous European race against the corrupt and lazy African
and Asiatic races. But neither the German drinking societies nor the German intellectuals
were interested in saving the Greek population. The Germans idealized the
classic Greeks of ancient times, along with their monuments and shrines. The
Germans wanted to save monuments, preserve art and re-create Greek music. However,
the Greek people, themselves, fell far short of German standards of linguistic and
racial purity. While German intellectuals applauded the dramatic orations,
comedies and tragedies presented in Greek theaters complete with stage settings
and a musical chorus, they distrusted Socratic reasoning and Platonic
liberalism. The one German intellectual
who came closest in reflecting true German philhellenism was the brilliant
musical genius, German composer, Richard Wagner.

Wilhelm Richard Wagner who died in 1883 was known
for his operas or, as some called them, musical dramas. Presenting his dramas
in epic proportions, Wagner wanted his audience to find their spiritual and
patriotic alter egos in his presentations.
In doing this Wagner used classical Greek stagecraft. In his Cycle of the Ring, Wagner created a transcendental
work of cultural enlightenment that transfixed Wagner’s audiences. Friedrich
Nietzsche a member of Wagner's inner circle, at one time, described Wagner's
music as casting aside Apollonian decadence and initiating a Dionysian rebirth.
Richard Wagner’s Greek cultural expressions animated and invigorated the souls
of German folk.

At
the same time, German intellectuals held the national character of the Greek
people up to scorn. Gottingen scholars identified Dorian Greeks as being of
pure Aryan stock. They claimed that the Dorian Greeks were without any alien
admixture and very close to Germans in race and character. Gottingen declared Ionian
Greeks, like those living on the southwestern shore of the Black Sea for 3000
years, Semitic mongrels.

From Cultural Philhellenism To Political
Racism

Gottingen
scholars invented their Aryan myths such as the theory of the racially-pure Dorians,
no other European scholars objected. In fact, these racial theories were fully
accepted. The French nobleman, Arthur,
Comte de Gobineau supported Gottingen’s racist scholarship in his essay
on the Aryan master race. Gobineau
declared that modern Greeks were so mongrelized by Egyptians and Semites that
they could no longer be considered descendants of the ancient Greeks.

Thus
German intellectuals and Gottingen scholars successfully prepared the

German
people with the racist fanaticism that demanded a government like the Third
Reich. The racial ideal of the Teutonic superman formed the German national
character. Germans now thought of themselves as the master race whose destiny
was to bring order to the world. Once German feelings of national identity
reached the level of irrational fanaticism and it was in their power execute
programs of population control against the inferior races, it was easy for them
to decide to add another population to their list: the Greeks.

From World War II to Greek Civil War

In 1941, when Greek partisans defeated Italian
aggression, the Germans came to the Italians’ rescue. For four years, Greeks resisted
the German occupation of their country. The Germans rewarded Greek bravery by turning
Greece from a modestly well-to-do country in 1941 to a state of total economic,
physical and political collapse in 1944.

The Germans destroyed 25 percent of the
country's forests; destroyed 56 percent of the roads; 90 percent of the
bridges; 65 percent of automobiles; 60 percent of the trucks; 80 percent of the
buses; 100 percent of the trains and railways; 80 percent of the factories; 100
percent of the water and sewage facilities; and 100 percent of telephone
communications. The Germans blew up the principal Greek harbors and burned dock
facilities, installations, machinery and quays. The Germans blew up the Corinth
canal and sank 74 percent of the Greek ships.

The Germans bombed all major Greek cities into
ruins. From northern Epirus to the Dodecanese, large and small buildings,
churches, schools, hospitals and homes became just so much rubble. 1,770 Greek
villages, 90% of the villages in every Greek province, were burned to the
ground.

Using mass hangings, shootings and specially
constructed death vans, the Germans murdered thirteen percent of the Greek
population.

Winston
Churchill’s ‘Naughty Document’

In
October 1944, Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin divided various European
countries into spheres of influence. Churchill referred to the agreement as the
‘naughty document.’ Greece fell to Great Britain.

Many
comparisons between the Spanish civil war and the Greek civil war abound
including betrayal by the Soviet Union of both countries. With Stalin’s
forbearance, Churchill decided to rid Greece of the overwhelming number of
militias armed by Russia to fight the Germans. Under the direction of British
officers, Greek government’s forces ___ many of whom had been recruited and
trained by the Germans ___ attacked the anti-Nazi militias. The British army
provided logistical support and former German SS officers served as ‘advisors.’
Just as in Spain barely ten years earlier, Russian indifference gave Germany
the opportunity to murder those Greeks who had survived the war. The Greek
fascists who collaborated with the Germans during WWII were returned to power under
the authority of the British government. Once they had done the bidding of the
British and Americans, the German SS ‘advisers’ were whisked away through the
‘rat line’ escape route provided by the Vatican, the Red Cross as well as the
Swiss, British and American governments. The Greek fascists formed a secret society known as the
Holy Bond of Greek Officers. The world would come to know this particular group
of fascists as the ‘colonels.’

Cold War Atrocities Against Greece

On April 21, 1967, a junta of Greek
military, intelligence, and secret police officers launched a coup and seized control
of Greece. Obeying instructions from England’s MI6 and the US CIA, the
“colonels” canceled all upcoming national and provincial elections. England and the US worried that, if the
upcoming elections were allowed to take place, socialists would take control of
Greece. The junta rounded up 10,000 Greek citizens ____ political activists, union leaders, artists,
academics, students, priests and war time anti-Germans partisans. Before their
executions, military and security police tortured their captives. Some were tortured for information, others to
terrorize families and friends and still others were tortured in retaliation
for resisting the German occupation. WWII did not end for Greece. Instead
British and American military intelligence supported the continued extermination
of Greek citizens.

To keep themselves in power, for
seven years in the land that invented democracy, the ‘colonels’ pursued a
fascist agenda ___ following the German model of rule. The Greek government denied
civil rights and arrested, tortured, imprisoned and murdered Greek citizens. The
war against fascism did not end in Greece until civilian rule was restored in 1974,
almost thirty years after WWII.

German-Imposed Austerity: A Twenty-first
Century Atrocity

The imposition of austerity
measures by Germany and the European Union is a continuation of German
atrocities against Greece ___ and it stinks. Over and over again, the Germans declared
that they did not know about the mass executions. ‘It was the Nazis,’ the
Germans told the world. ‘Nazi’ ___
from the word Ashkenazi ___ a secret
German code word for ‘Jew.’ Dachau and
Buchenwald were short distances from major German cities and these German
concentration camps stunk.

Dachau
is located in Bavaria, 10 miles northwest of Munich. Its crematorium consisted
of four sizeable ovens used to incinerate corpses. Each day the corpses of
thousands of murder victims were burned in those ovens. Each day the smells of
burned flesh and melted human grease belched from the ovens and wafted over the
Bavarian countryside. The smells of burning human flesh reached as far as Munich.

Buchenwald concentration camp is four
miles from Weimar and 20 miles from Leipzig. 56,000 people were murdered at Buchenwald from 1937 to 1945, an
average of 7000 a year or about 200 per day. They did not burn their victims at
Buchenwald. The daily stench of dead rotting corpses was horrific.

Germans
knew what their government was doing and approved. They believed then ___ and
believe now ___ they are superior, just
like the Jews believe they are chosen and the Christians believe their ongoing
crimes are forgiven. Today the Germans are still following the racist theories that
ooze out of Gottingen that there are too many Greeks in Greece ___ and the
genocide of Greek people is fully supported by Christians and Jews, alike.
